Truth or Joke? Orlando Jones Replaces Tyler Perry as Madea

Perry also praised Jones stating, “In my opinion, Orlando is the perfect choice to take over this role. He is extraordinarily talented and will make one terrific Madea! I have given him my blessing and I urge everyone to go out and see this hysterically funny film this Christmas and support Orlando’s participation.”

Here’s what Jones had to say: “Truly honored to be entrusted with this amazing opportunity. I just hope I don’t screw it up.”

We still don’t know if this is true or a straight up lie. But here’s what we do know with certainty. With or Without Orlando Jones, “Tyler Perry’s A Madea Christmas” is scheduled to open in theaters on Dec. 13, 2013.

In the meantime, we gotta know what your thoughts are on the possibility of Orlando Jones … or anyone else for that matter … other than Tyler Perry, playing Madea. What do you think?
